Chicken Mexican Honey Roast

Chicken Mexican Honey Roast

Learned a wonderful new recipe today for roast chicken with the least amount of fuss involved , absolutely a dish to make on those evenings when you want to have a good chicken roast but really don’t want to spend your time marinading, basting, and hovering around the oven in general.

Had it for dinner at a friend’s place today, and while everyone was drinking a beautiful chardonnay with Kenny G playing in the background, the chicken getting roasted without anyone having to continuously supervise it.

Amazingly though, it does not take much time either.

The honey gives it a beautiful dimension and the slow cooking helps in keeping the chicken amazingly juicy.

Ingredients :

Chicken legs without skin – 8

Honey – 4 tbsp

Rock Salt – 2 tbsp

Rosemary – 2-3 sprigs

Mexican spice – 4 tbsp

Cajun Spice – 2 tbsp

Olive oil for frying – 2 tbsp

Kenny G album

Marinade the chicken legs with all the spices and honey

Leave for 6 hours

In a shallow bottomed pan with lid , add some oil to coat the base

The chicken will not be deep fried thus the oil should be just enough to coat the pan

Now put the chicken legs in the pan and cover it, leave on low flame

Go and listen to Kenny G

Get up after 15 mins and go turn the chicken

Cook for another 10 mins , the chicken should be lightly browned on both sides

Cook until done, you can check by pricking a fork, the flesh should be coming off the bones
